AURELIA'S POV:
I storm out of the office boiling with anger. I shouldn't have wasted my precious time trying to prove what was never important to Alessandro. Lily was right afterall, Alessandro would never take my side over Mia's.
I wipe away the angry tears from my cheeks, wondering why I feel so betrayed. Why do I feel betrayed by my captor? Did I ever expect anything else from him?
I pull to a stop in front of the large double doors, and I find myself yearning for something I know very well is outside of my reach. My freedom.
I pull open the doors, storming out of the house in anger. I close the doors behind me, shocked when no guard comes out running behind me. The looming black gates however serve to dampen my spirits as I realize that leaving the house is one thing, but actually escaping from these gates is another thing entirely.
